Beachfront holiday rentals in Guanacaste Province

Casita by Lina was a little piece of heaven. It felt like our own little seaside abode. Very peaceful surroundings only steps from the beach. Tasteful decor inside & out. We will plan to stay again in the future.

We had a great stay at Dirk’s place. The area is very relaxing. Four restaurants nearby and a small mini mart. The house is right next to the entrance to the beach. The beach is spectacular. A few miles long, great surfing, wonderful sunsets, and not crowded compared to the beach at Tarmarindo. We stayed for two weeks. The first week we rented a car to do grocery shopping, etc. The second week we just relaxed using nearby restaurants and the beach. We enjoyed the pool when not at the beach. If you want to go to Tarmarindo it is about a 15 minute walk on the beach to the inlet that separates the two areas, you can then use the locals with their boats to cross. Cost $2 per person. Boats start at 8 and stop at 5. Dirk is a great host. He helped us with renting the car, and was generous with his recommendations. Look forward to returning.

I noticed this Airbnb 3 years ago and it was the reason that encouraged me to visit Costa Rica. After seeing this Airbnb unit the first time I knew I made no mistake visiting this beautiful part of the world. The unit is Rustic and more functional and desirable than I have expected. Surrounded with natural greenery, singing birds, and friendly neighbors. The drive to it was intimidating at first impression. But it added to the charm as a I got off the beaten pass. It lead lead me onto the Guiones Sur sandy beach. Then into a hidden rural dirt road which guided me into the my 3 night stay… I wish I could have stayed longer. If you stay here you must experience the sun setting down. Walk out to the beach approximately 4:30pm and wait for to the sun to set over the Pacific Ocean horizon… it’s magical. I shall return. Pura Vida!

The main draw is the location right at the beach. The place was very quiet and peaceful, the kitchen was very well equipped with all things one may need.

The location can’t be beat! Just being able to sit on the patio every morning and evening listening to and watching the ocean was so peaceful. The house was perfect for our family of 3. The kitchen is very well set up with lots of working space and a view of the ocean while you cook! The lawn is gorgeous with many hammocks to relax in while kids played football. Then there’s the beautiful beach just steps from the house. Lila was so responsive and accommodating for our family. We truly were able to live Pura Vida while here! Thank you, Lila, for sharing your home with our family!

Dana place is beautiful. Right on the beach, many activities and tons of delicious restaurants. The studio was super clean and location is very safe. Parking was a breeze. Host was awesome. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Caroline and Étienne are lovely hosts and we enjoyed our stay very much! Check in was easy and communication prompt and friendly. The little house was exceptionally clean and built with high quality material. AC was welcome and bed large and comfy. The outdoor kitchen has everything you need and while we prepared lunch dnd dinner there we never once had any issues with ants or other insects. The little cold private pool was a welcome lifesaver for cold dips in the hot afternoons. Otherwise the beautiful beach is 15 min walk away. We heard and saw howler monkeys every day from our patio! The only thing to note is that the patio faces other properties gardens so while you are protected from view you can hear neighbors talk or do garden work. We would happily stay again!

Awesome place to stay! Beautiful view! A short walk to the beach and some local shops - it is a steep hill, but there are stairs. Staff and other guests were extremely helpful and friendly. There was more than enough room for our family of four. When we needed assistance with an air conditioner, Floribeth was quick to respond, and had a repair person there in no time - problem fixed immediately. We were not planning on returning to Costa Rica, but after our stay, we fell in love with the area and people, and can't wait to return. Floribeth gave us precise directions, found it right away. You will not want to leave here. Thank you Floribeth!!

Our group of 10 stayed and had a great time. We ate out for 90% of our stay because we needed all our fridge space to keep drinks cold. It was a very hot therefor fridge has a hard time keeping up. We are a group that enjoys cold beer and ice. we made ice constantly and probably bought more than $300US in ice. we brought yeti backpack coolers thankfully. The grocery stores are a distance from the house. We found it was basically the same price as going out. all the Local restaurants were delicious and great selection. The property is excellent for 10 people. Costa Rican Authentic We honestly could not believe how hot the temperatures are in Costa Rica. We spent most of our time swimming Ocean and pool. Great shade around pool area. Loved open kitchen/ living area.

Sabine and Nico were very kind and cordial hosts, answering any questions and responding to any needs asap. The pool was a very nice addition after coming in from the beach just across the street. Outside grill by pool was a nice touch. Directions using Wave or Google Maps was easy enough to find. The area is very quiet, calm and not at all touristy which is what we were after! Would recommend and stay again.

We loved staying Aaron’s home, it felt like an oasis with a beautiful garden and private pool. It was only a few minutes walk to Playa Guiones, with walkable distance to surf board rentals, cafes and delicious restaurants. The home was beautifully appointed with comfortable beds and lots of storage. We felt welcomed and well taken care of at every turn, muchas gracias Aaron!

We just finished up a great stay- the view and the pool make this place 100% worth the stay. Douglas was very responsive and even installed a railing for the steps as my mom had trouble going up and down and the staircase didn’t have one. Very helpful with my questions and advice prior to arriving. The house is hard to find in the dark on the rural roads. More clear directions like look for the white car port might be helpful for future guests.

Mary was prompt and helpful and gave great restaurant suggestions!! The home was gorgeous and exactly as pictured. We would definitely recommend this gorgeous home!! Best vacation ever. Thank you so much!!

The views are incredible from the balcony. Our first night there, we saw monkeys in the trees right next to the balcony. Parking is a little tricky, but once we figured it out and where the villa was located, it was fine. The carts will take you around the resort and to the beach. We walked to different restaurants - Roberto’s, gingers and La casita de marisco. Recommend all of them! The only con is the raccoons. They are able to open the sliding doors if not locked. They also hit the glass door to the bedroom at night. Overall, the place was perfect for our girls week and the views from the balcony are 100!!

Loved the house and location. Extremely well-equipped kitchen and some refreshments waiting for us in the fridge. RCV arranged a guided tour for us at Rincon de la Vieja National Park for one day (including lunch, zip-lining, and the hot springs & mud baths) that was a lot of fun. Had dinner the first night at Father Rooster's on Ocotal Beach just down the hill from the house. We did a little cooking and used the bbq grill for a couple meals. There were a couple small problems: water was not turned on for one of the showers downstairs, the gas was not turned on for the stove (just had to open the valve on the propane tank on the other side of the wall from the stove), the A/C would trip off in the second bedroom upstairs, and the dishwasher wouldn't operate. RCV sent people promptly to address the issues, but unfortunately the dishwasher needed a new control board and couldn't be fixed during our stay. We would definitely stay in this house again.

OBSESSED. The views, the space, the communication, the location… y’all. We’re sooooooo happy with our stay!!! We felt like kids in a candy shop exploring this house. It’s just SO beautiful. The decor and amenities inside are super thoughtful. The views are breathtaking!! We loved sitting on the porch sipping coffee, reading, etc. We loved the proximity to Father Rooster’s—a sweet little restaurant close by. It’s super tourist-friendly, but still felt authentic. Check in was smooth, after making contact with the on-site security (which we greatly appreciated!!). Communication with our host throughout the process was flawless! A couple of things to note: 1) The A/C units worked perfectly in the bedrooms; keeping the main living area cool during the heat of the day was a little tougher. But you are in Central America, after all! 2) The main bed was too soft for us. 3) Keep in mind that CR is a developing country, this house is on the edge of the neighborhood, and CR driving is nutty!

Wonderful stay at this absolutely beautiful condo. It was more than expected! We cooked breakfast and supper in the well appointed kitchen. Our teenagers enjoyed having their own space - the beds were comfortable and linens very nice. All of the furnishings were top notch. The location can’t be beat. The beach was steps away and this condo has the best view. Our kids enjoyed the pool, the beach, and use of the boogie boards, kayak, and paddle board daily. We had Coco Loco delivered and ate at nearby restaurants - Margaritaville, Camparino, Surf Box etc. Between Alejandro and Blue Zone and the concierge at The Palms, our every question and request was taken care of. They booked transportation for us, helped to rent us a golf cart for the week, booked excursions, gave area recommendations and just made our whole trip seamless. Thank you for a wonderful first trip to Costa Rica.

Have to say, we’ve stayed in a lot of different places but this one “takes the cake!” We thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Beach House. Anything you would need was available-kitchen well appointed, plenty of towels (in bathrooms & for beach), plenty of chairs on covered porch for when all 5 of us wanted to sit together as a group. We loved having the pool, the tiki hut, & easy access to the beach! Everything was very clean when we arrived & kept clean all week we were there. Ileana, the housekeeper, & Alexander, the groundskeeper, were very sweet & helpful. Of course we loved Missy always greeting us with a wagging tail! The setting of the property was awesome & the view out to the bay breathtaking! We would definitely look into staying at this property again if coming back to Costa Rica!

The view, the beach, and the pool make this place worth it. Beautiful property and lovely home. Douglas was a great host. The road into the place was fine with our Rav4. This place was our favorite Airbnb in Costa Rica that we stayed at! Well worth the drive to this place. There are a few restaurants not too far. I recommend doing a grocery run before heading to the Airbnb, only small grocery stores close by.

We've stayed at many Airbnbs, and this was by far our favorite. Lovely house, comfortable beds, a great bathroom for each of the bedrooms, fantastic pool with warm water in a great neighbourhood, only steps from a beautiful, quiet beach. We watched the sunsets from our balcony or took the conveniently supplied camp stools to watch from the beach. Some nice restaurants and a small grocery store we could walk to. A short drive from horseback riding, Playa Conchal, the Westin where we got day passes and an hour's drive from Tamarindo where we went shopping. Just as important, our hosts were very responsive to our needs in advance of our trip, and while we were there. Friendly, lovely people. We would definitely come again.

We loved Rick’s place. It is exactly as he has listed if not better in person. So clean and spacious. We felt right at home. The beds are huge and very comfortable, So you’ll get a good nights sleep. It is in a perfect location with an easy walk to shops, restaurants and more importantly the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Pipa! The home was exactly as advertised. Iris was so easy to work with; helped with dinner reservations. Excellent guide/resource book emailed prior to arrival. Manfred the local house manager was so nice to work with, orient us to the home, and make us feel welcome immediately. We enjoyed Manfred's homemade pastries; so delicious! The home is very clean and comfortable. We found the beds and pillows very comfortable. So private and the private beach access was just magical! Was so nice to go through the gate, walk a beautiful little forest path, to find the amazing beach and Pacific ocean!!! Any questions; answered immediately. Just a total chill place for ultimate relaxation while being able to walk the neighborhood and enjoy the lovely small restaurants and market. We didn't rent a car and didn't feel the need for one. Our driver brought us to the supermarket before our arrival so we had everything we needed; the home, pool, beach!! Thank you!!!

Our stay at Jarrod’s place was incredible! Best vacation house you could ask for. Perfect location right on the beach but still super private. Having a swimming pool right on the ocean is about as good as it gets, we usually spend most of our vacation time at the beach but this house was so great we wound up spending more time by the pool. Also the house is stocked very well, everything an Airbnb/rental house should have this house has. Jarrod was very accommodating and helped us with transportation and Covid testing at the house. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Playa Negra area! We will definitely be coming back!

Deborah's place was fantastic. The location is great if you don't want to be in tourist central. It's a ten minute walk along the beach to the center of Tamarindo. Right out front is the end of the sandy part of the beach, so it's less busy but you have waves to play in or protected shoreline from big waves at certain times, making a safe play area for kids. Howler monkeys, iguanas, parrots, geckos, hawks all roam the property - the wildlife comes to you. We were there in the dry season, so the trees had no leaves and you could see the beach and the view. The pool is smaller but very clean and great to cool off in. It was great for our toddler if we were in the pool with her. The staff on site are very friendly and very helpful, and Deborah and Toni responded very quickly to any questions or concerns. The unit was great, there is no AC in the main area (just the bedrooms) but there are plenty of fans and it was fine with pool breaks or quick naps. I would stay here again.
